ExxonMobil’s mission, to fuel the world safely and responsibly, has never been more important.
Together, Raise and ExxonMobil are building teams that are rising to meet the world’s growing energy needs through the ExxonMobil Contingent Community—where skilled workers and unique contract opportunities meet.
Raise is taking applications for current openings like this one while building a diverse group of talent for future openings. When you apply for this role, you’ll also be considered for upcoming positions that align with your skills and qualifications.
Note: Successful applicants will be employees of Raise Limited, working at ExxonMobil facilities with both ExxonMobil employees and other contractors.
Overview
We are seeking a motivated and experienced Geomechanics Numerical Modeler with strong expertise in computational modeling, solid mechanics, and finite element methods. This role will support well planning and geomechanical projects in oil & gas applications and CO2 storage, with a focus on solving complex subsurface problems through numerical modeling.
Responsibilities :
- Utilize numerical modeling tools and software to solve subsurface problems involving stresses, pore pressure, and deformations.
- Develop and implement innovative workflows, tools, and modeling approaches with minimal supervision.
- Integrate numerical results with experimental geomechanics or field observations to improve prediction and decision making.
- Collaborate across technical disciplines and global teams to deploy solutions into operational workflows.
- Deliver high quality technical reports and presentations to internal and external audiences.
Qualifications :
- 5-15 years of experience in application of geomechanical modeling for subsurface applications in oil and gas
- MS or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, Geophysics, Geology or related field.
- Expertise in computational modeling of deformation, stresses, and coupled systems (solid-thermal or poro-mechanics).
- Experience in developing or applying mathematical/numerical models to solid and multi physics problems.
- Experience with subsurface geomechanics applications (e.g., reservoir compaction, fault reactivation, casing/completion deformation, stress prediction for well planning, hydraulic fracturing).
Preferred Qualifications :
- Experience with modeling tools (e.g., ABAQUS, VISAGE, ANSYS, Reveal, VISAGE, Elfen, Petrel) and high-performance computing environments.
- Ability to develop or modify code in MATLAB, Python, or other programming languages.
- Industry experience in geomechanical modeling is highly desirable.
